I mean they named this upcoming title "Balance" they are taking us to a place they know nothing about lol :D

My ideal squad is first people who are on the same server. Followed by having geared their characters before entering wvw and then having some kind of build for carrying their weight within the squad. I haven't seen any of these things in years so it seems like along with no content other than micro transactions for cash shop items there hasn't been any development in this game since the layoffs.

They haven't forgotten about the centaur aspect of the trailer its just a dragons response mission where you have to kill the centaurs and take their trebs so you can use them on primordus forces in lake doric. I am just speculating but that is something along the lines of what they would do since its mainly just repurposing content while they figure out how they are going to be able to keep people interested long enough to make another expansion. The trebs will then reload water balloons that will extinguish the destroyers.

I know one requirement that a lot of guilds have is mental stability and I just don't have any of that.

The whole blob, population, and server stacking issues will go away once the outnumbered buff removes target limitations and immune from watchtowers. Auctioneers have been out of work for far too long because of this watchtower and target limitation pandemic lets get them back to work.

Some people don't understand the meaning of spawn camped either. Have had people claiming I was spawn camping them by sitting in NE and NW alpine camps and the map not being home borderland map lol. Hard to explain to these types of players that its not spawn camping its just happening to be entertained by mindless zombies coming at me and immediately getting killed. However there is also that one guild of people that pretty much are bots with just a weapon to tag people with my problem with them is that since they don't have decent builds or have any armor or trinkets the npc's will double down them before I can hit them once. Then the headache if they are on your server but at the same time amusing because if someone drops something like DH traps it will kill about half of them instantly so if you are lagging any it will look like a whole blob of players died from running into a breeze with no enemies in sight. So its a rough era for WvW and hoping your allies can make it to an enemy without dying much less being spawn camped.

I think right now the only news we can hope for is that they found out who is in charge of Anet and then maybe they can tell us if anyone still works for the company to even make EOD lol.

Anyone's welcome to prove me wrong but its just that maintenance mode feeling the game has had for years now that there isn't any motivation to login to play PvE content much less WvW. I would say the game is dead but the only thing actually happening is the power company is still getting paid to keep the lights on.

Hard counter to rangers is destroy their #2 key.

If they copy and pasted what they had for Wintersday in the original game it would be a massive improvement.

Ummmmm has the game gotten so bad that the 3 other people on DH destroyed all the other servers in ppt?

Pretty much this game has turned into a game that is only meant for players who are just now starting to play it. Anyone besides that is just becoming fed up or bored to death which ever comes first. > I can agree with that. I have been playing with a group of players that have been on for only about 6 months because 98% of my old friends have moved on. Its so funny their perspective on the game versus mine. When they look at the game they see all this stuff to do. While when I look at the game all I see are the things that are neglected. So I have to stop myself from being two negative around them because I don't want to ruin their experience. I always joke about how the development team is developing from a sports car with no breaks and no rear view mirror because they don't look back and rarely check their shoulder their always zooming to the next new thing! > Yep I ended up just going back to the game I played before starting this one since it seems to have way more people than what this does now. Logged in this game just to see if people were on at this peak time to normally find people and it was completely dead.

The answer is simple when an entity becomes deceased that entity no longer has the ability as it once had to communicate with the living.

SPvP needs a Feb 2020 level patch to be playable. I do not think that will ever happen. It is easy for devs to kitten up. It is far harder for them to admit they did and correct mistakes. > > > > SPvP in GW2 is done. > > I get what you're trying to say, but knowing ANet they'll make it as bad as the Feb 2020 (or worse) and people will be begging for this garbage meta back =) Basically Anet as anyone knew them is pretty much gone for good its just Ncsoft holding onto a few people who they didn't fire or who didn't leave with the mass exodus in 2019. So its essentially playing gw2 is no different than playing the original game now because its just that dead now population wise and creative/development wise as well. Plus they seem more interested in trying to enforce technicalities on copyrights on the new studio they are trying to make rather than moving on with this games development. Overall though we've basically seen what was going on behind the scenes with Anet and NCsoft and the result ended up becoming PoF and then both entities exploding on each other until it all fizzled out and died. It would be great if something good was happening with this game but I highly doubt its going to continue on much further might not even be operating a year from now.

The best reward track is killing one npc in a pve meta and then waiting for rewards to drop will reward you more than 100's of hours of wvw ever will.

Finding decent players that aren't wasting your time is extremely rare.

> @"Corma.7268" said: > I really prefer some of the changes from "the table", like alliances, better rewards for defending, map changes and so on. But the "stacking" problem has a much easier and cheap solution: count population across links, not for individual servers. When a link combination is "full", both servers have to be locked. That shouldn't be difficult to implement, and would stop that "link stacking" immediately. Majority of organized guilds have had alt accounts for years on every server so all of that will do nothing so the longer the hesitate to delete all the servers it only will get worse. Plus the whole transfer system is flawed anyways it has no structure what so ever so anyone with the currency and the availability of a server being open is all that is needed to move from server to server. Plus also things got so bad that PvE guilds have come because its less of a chance they will get reported for botting in wvw with pip farming.

The irony of darkhaven being a host server when its just a retirement server maybe 3 people on it 4 if I log in.

I'm on there but I never see anything remotely looking like anyone is trying to do anything. Plus the people I know that are on there all have pretty much quit and mostly did resets but then for weeks didn't even have the urge to even login.

This is where we ask for someone to provide proof of life because no one has seen any in two years now.

Why else would there be a timer for a "preperation goal"? Well its just that boring they had to time gate the whole thing lol.

Okay so we come back to play when the next chapter comes out in about 4 months okay lol.

He said a spec being too strong on release will result in people trying and messing around with it, which is "good" as the new content will actually be played and for playtime statistics for further balancing. He prefers that over a too weak spec, that nobody plays at release. > > > > So we know what will happen, when the next expac releases... > > If that is true, sigh. I would be more okay with this philosophy if they actually targeted the nerfs at the elite specs, but history will repeat itself and we will rinse and repeat through the same BS, and the same overperforming specs will remain such for the majority of the expac. PoF was enough to swear me off of PvP for good. Couldn't even bear finishing the first season after it dropped because of how horrendous balance was. Seeing how specs like core Engi and core Mes get butchered because of Holo and Mirage makes me worry for the future of other classes. > > I am excited for new e-specs simply because it is new content, but I was hoping CMC would be the voice of reason to help keep the e-specs more in check. We will see I guess. I'm still a little foolishly optimistic. They can't even make the Kalla Legend useful in WvW lol. I'm serious their track record on expansions is so bad that there is a good chance one of the main classes you play will not get an e-spec that is usable in wvw or pvp. Usually it falls under who gets stuck with the ranger theme for the class because like Renegade the Dragonhunter just a few of the traits from that e-spec line are usually used. So the traps and longbow have never been really useful unless they are so broken that everyone is using them until they fix or break them to not be so broken. So to me when they finally reveal the new E-specs its like when they call the lottery numbers and are like okay fingers crossed my class doesn't get rangered out.
